Jun 18, 2018Having Khamala in a team-book had a chance to do well as a buddy-hero movie, but this one just didn't grab me enough to stick with it. I'm hoping that we see better stuff for Ms Marvel in other issues this summer. Read Full Review

Squirrel Girl and Ms. Marvel share focus as new protagonist Ember Quade's Inhuman powers mature. There's a solid "youngster misguided into villainy" narrative building up. Both the script and the art are surprisingly dense; the sheer volume of story is actually the limiting factor for me. The narration flips back and forth between all three characters and regularly diverges from the events going on in the art. It packs in a ton of information, but the pace of the story suffers a bit.
